I don't really know what I just played but it was surely an unconventional art style and gameplay :) Will come back after some sleep ...

Interesting concept, great execution and while though it kinda got locked up after I completed all the topics it was still fun to play.

Not gonna lie, this was a good one. Although It could use some more instructions on how to time things and what-not.

Can't really feel the rhythm.

Can't say I really understood what was going on, but the idea of a "character assassination" is a clever use of the theme

Well, that was strange.

Pretty funny, especially the way sentences build, although I'm not sure about the audio and graphics.

This is so freaking hilarious. Great take on the theme. Could've used some more instructions, but once I got it it was hard to stop laughing.

LOVE IT! It looks good, and the mechanic is ridiculous. Awesome job! :D

Pretty weird, but any game where you can make fun of a guy for LARPing is good in my book.

Really great, I wish there was more, though.

Very slick. Nice visuals and funny, if a bit harsh :)

This is a very good entry, love the quips and the timing of them. Nailing the insult really makes you feel like you stuck it to him! Awesome game!

This is sweet, I loved it! Tearing the guy apart while also having a fun timing game, great work :D

"I hear your wife" ... "never loved you" - burn!

Seriously though, interesting concept - though I think the objectives in the gameplay could have been explained better.

Great effort.

Makes you feel like a real ass...assin :) Talk about a play on words. Good job. Really clever take on the theme. It wipes your assassin urges.

This game was funny, but I didn't find the gameplay satisfying. Maybe I would have gotten used to it, if there had been more content.

I don't like timing games. My timing is terrible. But this is an insult building simulator! Well made game! Giving high ratings!

Really funny! Cool combination game, and I like the way the dialogue flows. Great job!

Absolutely loved the audio. The game mechanics were pretty well done plus delivering the final zinger reminds me a lot of Phoenix Wright (must be the music and sound effects).

Very funny twist on the theme. Really like the build-up of insult chains and his reaction when it all came together. Maybe you could have made it a bit clearer which words are combo finishers and which words add to the chain.

This is an interesting and fun way... [Damage +4] of presenting dialogue in a game. [+4] It's a shame there's only one level! [x1]
The 3D models are nice... [+2] it's too bad [+8] you didn't bother animating them! [x5]
I also notice... [+12] that there is no proper game over screen [x2].
